Love Vans but this pair aren't evenly sewn especially from the back. One shoe looks like it slants significantly (not the actual sole itself) but the way it's sewn looks like the shoe at the heel is actually shorter on one than the other. It's also more black and less plaid then it appears in the photo in actuality but that's probably my fault for not looking at the photo closer. It's the first pair of Vans that I've ordered that have issues and I have 6 pairs so I guess I'm lucky.

The description should be update to specify that this item is leather. The “classic” slip on is canvas, not leather.

I thought I loved the idea of these until I actually received them. First, the design isn't as nice as the image displayed online. Second, the material is weird and not like all my other vans and to conclude they run small. Truth is, if they weren't so unique I would return them.

Prior to ordering I stood on the tape measure so I could order the correct size. This was my first pair of Vans!! The length is alright, but toe box area is very narrow and tight. I got blisters the first and last time I'll ever wear them. Which is a bummer because I love the design!

Bought this in store less then 3 weeks ago and they've already started to fall apart. 2 stars because they were comfy and cute but fell apart fast..

I can wear these but only for a short time. Maybe after they get broken in they'll be more comfortable. Just not quite right for my feet.

These were my first pair of checker slip ons and I was so excited. But I got a blister just wearing them around the house for 5 mins. They are soo stiff and narrow and tight. Super cute but I don't think I can wear them. They are not foot shaped at all.

I really really wanted to like these - great style and patchwork pattern, great with jeans and khakis, and the price was right. But no arch support so they’re sadly not a good match for my foot. Insole is not removable or I would have replaced with my own, as I often do with sneakers.

I've had 10+ pairs of slip on classics, I wear these shoes daily and religiously. The pair I just recently received feel very cheaply made, the shoe itself feels heavy and the size sticker stitched into the top of the shoe actually cut the top of my foot after wearing it at work for 8 hours. I didn't realize this was happening until I got home- this will scar. I'm truly disappointed in this shoe.

Shoes look awesome, but were hard to get on. Once on, they were too big. I would recommend these if the buyer can try them on first. Loved the non-slip sole, liked the perforated leather look and feel.

I specifically bought the stain shield with the shoes. It does not work. They stain very easily and it won't come out.

Very disappointed. Vans has changed their design somehow - these shoes are more narrow than older Vans I have bought in the past. I have wide feet, but Vans always used to work for me. This is the second pair I am going to have to return - the newer lace ups are too narrow, so I thought I would try the slip ons - still too narrow for me. The only recent Vans I've bought that have fit comfortably are the "Made for the Makers" ones. Really disappointing, Vans was one of my go-to brands, but not anymore it seems. Guess I am going to have to find another brand and leave Vans in the past. :(

I have bought many Vans shoes and never had fit problems - however I received these and they are way too tight/small. Hoping I can get a replacement in the proper sizing, the one downside of ordering online.

I really Liked these shoes fresh out of the box. But the color bleeds everywhere and it's not worth it. Maybe it's the material but I'm definitely upset

The material used is very hard and not comfortable at all. Adorable concept but my feet would never be comfortable wearing them. Fits true to size.

Unfortunately they were a little too big. They were pretty but also a little bit stiff. I am returning them.

Love the look. Loved Vans slip-on so much, bought 2 new pairs last year. When I first got them, I tried all the hacks for stretching them, even tried wearing them in a little, then put them away for the winter. Finally today, months later when still couldn't get my feet in comfortably, i grabbed my vans from a couple of years ago and out of curiosity, checked the sizes and the lengths. Newer model is about 1/4" shorter than older model in same size. Bummed I didn't return them right away.

i own over 20 pair of Vans, slip on and authentic I had ordered this Beauty Skull Classic "twice" and returned "both" Size 10 was too tight and 10.5 had too much room. I wish the size were accurate

I have two pair of Vans. They're a great fit but unfortunately this pair was so narrow I couldn't even get my foot into it. I am very sad but my niece was happy because I gave them to her!

I couldn't wear them for reasons given. The toe box was too narrow, but overall width was OK. I have an adequate arch so don't need extra arch support, but these shoes had very little arch support.
